From Beerinator.com:
The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery, Farmville, North Carolina's award winning microbrewery, is set to release its first lager, Duck-Rabbitor Doppelbock. Duck-Rabbitor is made with over 50% Munich malt and is hopped exclusively with Hallertaur hops. After fermentation the beer was lagered for 14 weeks prior to filtration. This beer is a malt lovers dream, with its full body and creamy mouthfeel. Duck-Rabbitor is a very limited release and will be draft only. The beer will start showing up in select markets where Duck-rabbit is sold in the upcoming weeks. We hope you enjoy Duck-Rabbit's first lager.
Sounds tasty, I'll be looking forward to this one for sure!

Sweetwater Dank Tank Barleywine
From a BeerAdvocate post, some information on Sweetwater's experimental "Dank Tank":
Atlanta, Georgia - June 4th, 2009 - SweetWater's Dank Tank experimental beer series now available in 22oz bottles. Emerging from the dark side of our brewers souls SweetWater's Dank Tank is ready to unleash round 4 from this series of one-hitters off the dedicated Dank 50 barrel Tank. On June 22nd DP Barley Wine will also have the honor to fill the first ever 22oz bottles to roll off the line in SweetWater's 12 years of heady brewing.
The Dank Tank is a series of Rarely Released Randomness and each offering will most likely never be seen again. Nick Nock, head brewer at SweetWater "There are so many styles that we are itching to brew. To have a tank at the brewery that is a toy for the brewers of SweetWater has been a blast." So when the itch gets so bad and we just need to scratch it, the next in the series will flow.
The DP Barley Wine is the biggest farm animal to come out of the SweetWater barn. We bucked up and threw everything, including the kitchen sink, into this jackass concoction. This donkey will take you for a ride at 10.2% alc. vol. and hee haws over 142.0 IBU's. Pucker Up!
142 IBU! Wow, I cannot find what Moylan's Hopsickle or Stone Ruination IPA clock in at on the IBU scale, but I am having a hard time imagining 142. One of the hoppier barleywines I've had was Stone Old Guardian, which is apparently "only" 110 IBU. Unfortunately to get a taste of this I'll have to drive to Asheville, or set up a trade with someone from the ATL.
